G F
Seems like I woke up in a dream
G F
Feeling connected to people that I’ve never seen
G F
Too bad they can’t see me
G F
They keep walking and gawking, none of them notice that they’re floating right downstream
G, F

G F
She’s waiting in a sunbeam
G F
Looking back at us as she floats away, her eyes alit, agleam
G F
Calling out, but not to me
G F
Like a siren silently singing a hypnotic, nautical theme
G, F

Well it’s ruthless game that you’ve been playing
Am7 Gmaj6 Fmaj7
You won’t stand a chance if you’ve been drinking
Am7 Gmaj6 Fmaj7
So learn the rules and play along
Am7 Gmaj6 Fmaj7
Just dance dance dance dance dance if you don’t know the song

G F
I think I woke up in Japan
G F
Now the sheep man comes up to me and says “you’ve got to stomp and clap your hands.
G F
All you gotta do is to dance”
G F
And if you can’t do that, then fuck you man, at least give something a chance

Well it’s ruthless game that you’ve been playing

You won’t stand a chance if you’ve been drinking

So learn the rules and play along
Am7 Gmaj6 Fmaj7
Just dance dance dance dance dance if you don’t know the song

Came to after nightfall
G F
Found the sheep man was gone, as I snooped around these velvet, black, quiet halls
G F
She vanished right into the walls
G F
So I kept it in step, still dancing along, no meaning to it all
G, F
G, F
G F
I’m leaving so much on hold
G F
As the thoughts unfold I hear the theme get told, but I’m losing control
G F
Its all starting to unroll
G F
No matter how numb, you’ve got to limber up, conscious beyond control
